Market news, Intel's next-generation Nova Lake-S desktop computer CPU has undergone a major innovation. Compared with Nova Lake-S and Arrow Lake-S, the highest-level Core Ultra 9 SKU single execution (ST) performance has been increased by about 1.1 times, and the multi-execution execution performance has been increased by about 1.6 times.
If the message is true, the core volume will increase significantly compared to Arrow Lake-S. The Nova Lake-S flagship products have 52 cores, 16 performance P cores, 32 efficiency E cores, and 4 ultra-low power LP-E cores, but there is no time to guess why Nova Lake's IPC is.
Nova Lake-S also supports DDR5-8000 memory, and the new slot 1954 has 32 PCIe 5.0 channels and 16 Gen 4 channels for I/O.
Nova Lake aims to adopt the new microarchitecture of the genres "Coyote Cove" and "Arctic Wolf", replace Arrow Lake's Crestmont P core and Skymont E's microarchitecture core combination, and join Meteor Lake's debut LP-E low-power core. If the message is true, Intel may narrow the single execution gap with the AMD Zen 6 Ryzen 9000 X3D processor and redefine desktop gaming status.
Considering that Nova Lake will not be released until 2026 (and the first batch of high chances are only -K models), AMD may have also launched a new Zen 6 processor. What Intel game performance needs to do not only improve the single core, but also solve the difficulties. Arrow Lake's memory interface problems can regain the past and take the lead again.
